Let's Get Gold9pm, ITV1

A vague attempt at an Olympic Games tie-in, this three-parter sees 15 sports teams competing for £100,000. Vernon Kay is the host, while Rio Ferdinand and Andrew Flintoff are on the judging panel. An indication that the winning factor may be down to more than fitness and technique is that the other two judges are entertainers: actor Martine McCutcheon and Una Healy from the Saturdays, who can at least lay claim to having a competitive swimming background, having represented Ireland at schools level.

Michael Johnson: Survival Of The Fastest9pm, Channel 4

A little over 15 years ago, Michael Johnson was the Man With The Golden Shoes, the fastest long sprinter on Earth. In the years since, he's done a lot of work in the UK as a commentator, and now here as a presenter. It's an unsettling premise that Johnson is exploring: is a possible link between the transatlantic slave trade and genetic selection a factor in the successes of African-American and Caribbean sprinters? Along the way, Johnson recounts the appalling nature of slavery in practice. John Robinson

The Hotel Inspector9pm, Channel 5

Steel yourself for a deluge of puns about "bottom lines", "sagging profits" and "well-clipped bushes" from the get-go in this first in a new series of The Hotel Inspector, which uncovers the problems facing Birmingham naturist retreat Clover Spa. Former farmer Tim Higgs has sunk a withering £400,000 into his Black Country nudist haven, in which guests are expected to be in the knack for the duration of their stays. But the uptake isn't quite what he was hoping for. Enter Alex Polizzi to dole out the bare facts. Ben Arnold

Storyville: Hitler, Stalin And Mr Jones9pm, BBC4

In 1935, Gareth Jones was killed in Mongolia after being kidnapped by bandits. But why did the Welsh journalist and adventurer die? This Storyville documentary traces a remarkable life, which took in encounters with David Lloyd George, Adolf Hitler and William Randolph Hearst. At its centre, though, is Jones revealing to the world how people were starving in Ukraine thanks to Stalin-era collectivisation. Jones emerges as a man fascinated by power, yet courageous enough to reveal dangerous truths. Jonathan Wright

Dynamo: Magician Impossible9pm, Watch

As the montage at the start of this new series reminds us, Steve Frayne (Dynamo, to you and me) has lately become the new hip magician, all Twitter followers and recommendations from Snoop Dogg. Last year, the big event was when he walked on the Thames, but more interesting by far is the next-level street magic stuff he gets up to here. Inevitably, there's a lot of focus on surprised looks from the man in the street, but the tricks here are imaginative and at times – coins melting their impression into glass and so on – even slyly beautiful.

The Midnight Beast10pm, E4

Time to see if the millions of hits the titular comedy band have generated on YouTube can translate to viewing figures. This gets off to a great start, as we're introduced to the combo, playing a poverty-stricken, unsigned version of themselves ("We're unsigned because corporations suck … and because we're shit!"), then it's straight into a cracking music video of them dressed as cardboard tower-block Transformers, rapping about kicking sharks in the face. Like major reference point Flight Of The Conchords, they're too good to pretend to be this bad for long. Phelim O'Neill
